Tzedakah or genetics? Hebrew University identifies possible ‘generosity gene’
You give because it’s a mitzvah, your religious side says (because it’s the right thing to do, adds your inner ethicist.)
That’s what we like to think—it’s certainly what we tell ourselves.
But what if all our self-congratulation covers up the real truth? Check this out (from ScienceDaily.com):
Generosity May Be Genetically Programmed
Are those inclined towards generosity genetically programmed to behave that way? A team of researchers, including Dr. Ariel Knafo of the Psychology Department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, believes that this could very well be the case.
Through an online task involving making a choice whether or not to give away money, the researchers found that those who chose to give away some or all of their money differed genetically from those involved in the exercise who chose not to give their money away.
The scientists conducted the experiment with 203 online “players”. Each player could choose to keep the equivalent of $12 he was allocated, or to give all or part of it to an anonymous other player.
Those involved also provided DNA samples which were analyzed and compared to their reactions. It was found that those who had certain variants of a gene called AVPR1a (photomicrographic image above) gave on average nearly 50 percent more money than those not displaying that variant.
You can read more here.
Do variants in the AVPR1a make kavanah/intention less valid, replacing instinct with intent? Surely good instincts can’t be bad?
And what of free will?
All things to ponder next time you see a tzedakah box, or get that phone call.

When the table's set
the guests will dance circles
round the diamond center
Sing melodies of Eden
before the fall
Serve forbidden fruit
on silver trays
till the break
of dawn.

A generous supporter invited the Iowa crew and guests to catered dinner at his private classic car museum. He asked that we don't reveal the location, and I'll only say this is in southern California.
It was amazing to see so many rare, beautiful cars. Everything works! As much as I enjoy them I'm no good at identifying most of them. Those I do know are shown in the tags. I'll be updating if/when I get solid info.
A generous land owner gave me access to his beautiful bluebonnet covered property and his Longhorn cattle. I can't express my appreciation enough. His kindheartedness made my week!

Caimans inhabit Central and South America. They are relatively small crocodilians, with most species reaching lengths of only a few meters, although one species, the Black caiman, can exceed 13 feet (4.0 m) in length.

This image, from her music video 'Generous' (2017), shows the then 20-year-old blonde American actress and singer Olivia Holt in a most flattering hotel chambermaid costume. She is wearing a short, frilly white apron over a black, short-sleeve minidress with white collar and cuffs. She is also wearing a frilly, white cap with black trim and black, stiletto-heel shoes. This outfit shows off her lovely legs to great effect! In this image, she is emerging through a double door from the room beyond. The video can be watched at, for example:

I get two packets of shaving cream, a hairbrush, toothbrush & paste, deodorant (not antiperspirant...) a razor, and a "vanity pack"... I think they should have included underwear, that's what I really needed.

"Noble and generous Compton Tichborne esquire whose everlasting memorye perpetualy liveth in ye gratefull hearts of his (by him restored) family" At a guess he saved the estates from sequestration during the Commonwealth. He dyed March 17th 1657. Son of Elizabeth (Compton) www.flickr.com/photos/52219527@N00/685409293/ who died giving birth to him 1623 and Sir Benjamin Tichborne. Grandson of Bridget and John Compton www.flickr.com/photos/52219527@N00/685408887/ whose estate he inherited. On Compton's death the estate passed to his cousin, son of his uncle Francis Tichborne the brother of his father
Compton probably erected this monument to himself at the time he erected the one to his grandparents as they are in the same style and materials
